Microsoft has said it sold 6.6 million Xbox consoles during the fourth quarter of 2014, the shopping season leading up to Christmas, earning revenue totaling $26.5-billion.

The tech giant’s total company income was $5.8-billion. Despite a rise in revenue, overall Xbox sales were down from last year during the same fiscal period. Over the holiday season last year Microsoft sold a total of 7.4 million Xbox units, but this number was split between 3.9 million Xbox One and 3.5 million Xbox 360 consoles.

This year’s financial report did not reveal the split between how many Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles were sold leading up to Christmas. In comparison Sony sold 4.1 million PlayStation 4 consoles during the same 2014 holiday shopping season, and 18.6 million units in total over the course of 2014. Microsoft has not revealed the total number of Xbox One consoles sold in 2014.

Microsoft’s Devices and Consumer division, which includes Surface products, Bing, Xbox and Windows Phone, as well as a few other Microsoft properties, grew 8 per cent over the course of 2014 and brought in a total revenue of $12.9-billion. Individual numbers for Microsoft’s Xbox brand were not released.

Increased quarter four sales Xbox were likely spurred by Microsoft dropping the base model of the Xbox One (that doesn’t include Kinect) to $349 from $399 in the United States. Microsoft also briefly brought the U.S. Xbox One price back up to $399 on Jan. 3, but then dropped it back down to $349 shortly after.

In Canada, the price remained at $399 throughout, though the price of the PlayStation 4 went up in Canada to $449 midway through the year.
